How They Tried to Kill Me in Prison ––Al-Mustapha

Former Chief Security Officer to late Gen. Sani Abacha, who
spent about 14 years in prison, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, as revealed that he
escaped several plots to kill him while he was in prison.

“Thank God, a
reliable and trusted son of Tivland and my friend was officer in charge. He was
directed to release me without documents in the wee hours of the night.

“As God would have
it, he sought for guidance from our father and leader, Wantaregh Paul Unongo,
who in turn directed him not to allow them take me away for subsequent
killing."

Al-Mustapha said he
would have been eliminated if not for the timely intervention of Wantaregh Paul
Unongo and retired Controller of Prison, Iorbee Ihiagh.

Al-Mustapha, who was
one of the powerful men in the country during the administration of late Gen
Abacha, made the revelation at the weekend when he led his wife, few friends
including Mohammed Abacha to pay homage to Second Republic Minister of Steel,
Wataregh Paul Unongo, in his home in Jato Akaa.

He said: “On the 29th
of March, 2004, some people planned to kill me. I was to be forced out of the
prison and taken to an unknown destination where they were to take my life.

“God saved my life on
that day. Let me say, from the day the journey started, the day my father, the
late General Sani Abacha, died to the 12th of of July this year when I was
released, we have had so many attempts to take our lives but God Almighty
preserved us.

“Alhaji Mohammed Sani
Abacha and I initially were framed through scripted stories released to the
media and we were arrested. Thank God that subsequently justice was served
having passed through series of travails and torture.

“But today it is just
normal that we should come home to Tivland before my father Wantaregh Paul
Unongo and in the presence of CP Ihiagh, who was prematurely retired because he
refused to play games with my life. God Almighty has decided that I will still
see today.”
